Bishop of the town of Tagrith in Mesopotamia, he was famed for his faith and
goodness. Maruthas calmed the wrath of the Persian King Yezdegeherd against the
Christians, begged from him the relics of the 400 martyrsin Persia and founded a
town, Martyropolis, where he placed these holy relics. He finished his earthly
